I like the black car with black wheels, but I couldn't help but think something just didn't look right. Then it hit me. The windows. They need to be tinted, even if just a little. Of course that is my opinion and it's worth what you paid me for it.

Erik, you're killin' me...

Rich, if it makes you happy, go for it!

Were it mine to play with I might consider chrome lug nuts, black calipers, tint the sidemarkers & windows. Maybe put a Batman logo on the hood.

I was thinking more in the line of a mullet hair cut and calling the car K.I.T.

But then again my 928 has cost me so much i couldnt afford to buy pea-nuts!

RDS928S,
Remember what mom always said: "They wouldn't make fun of you if they didn't like you"

I wasn't kidding about the blue hash marks (not sure what everyone else calls them).

My .928¢ is the blue nuts look cool. I think it's understated enough, but gives a bit of dash to the wheel.

Since it has been brought up, tinted windows would complete the package.

In red.

Just kidding! Just kidding!

LOVE your car, it looks bad ***. IMHO, the blue lug nuts take away from the look.

Rich,

I love your car. I don't think the blue anodized is ricer at all. The red calipers, Porche crest center caps, new lugs and those awesome wheels look fine together.

It's very low-key. I also love your 'photo area'. The pic with the 'No Smoking' sign above your smokin' car is cool.

I do think some dark window tinting would complete the package (I'm hoping to do the same, one day). Also some kind of side skirts would really finish it off well from the profile view IMO.

The car would look really good with black calipers (aren't they S4s anyways?), black wheel nuts and tinted windows.

Mikey,

and others the window tint is next on the list to be sure.

The jury is still out on the blue lug nuts. I have gold, black,blue and open ended steel lug nuts. Most likely will go to the black.
Although in the immediate future these blue hypercoil springs are being installed.

I hope the group can handle a blue spring !.
You will be able to see them throught the spokes of the rear wheel ( a real shocker right ?)

Rich
